Health effects of radon, most notably lung cancer, have been investigated for several decades. Therefore, indoor radon monitoring is a great way to consider the problem of natural radioactivity but also a way to insert phenomenological elements into physics education useful in understanding the crisis of classical physics and for introducing modern physics. The RadioLab project allowed to explore the possibility of a rapid introduction of elements of modern physics for younger students.
